Patricia June Vickers, her brother Roy Henry Vickers, and other Indigenous Elders, healers, and activists from the Canadian Esk’etemc, Gitxsan, and Wet’suwet’en territories open their hearts and histories in this deeply human story of healing.

Born into a world shaped by the violence of forced assimilation, the elders and storytellers carry the inter-generational impact of residential schools, scars that ripple through memory, body, and lineage. 

This is the third film in the 12-part series, “The Eternal Song.” Each film takes the viewer into a different culture where, for tens of thousands of years, indigenous peoples were in deep kinship with the natural world while stewarding ancestral land and wisdom. Through the narratives of colonialism, capitalism, and individualism, our “modern” Western mindset has cast a collective fog of amnesia and led us into believing that we are separate from the Earth, each other, and the ancestral realm.

Through trauma healing work, ceremony, land, and language, you will listen as the storytellers navigate the deep echoes of inter-generational trauma, transforming disconnection, substance use, and cultural grief into profound pathways of healing and deep remembrance.
